How to Identify Your Skin Tone for the Best Blonde Shade

To find the right blonde shade, it’s important to identify the undertones in your skin. A person’s skin tone falls into one of three categories: warm, cool, and neutral. Knowing which category you are will help determine whether a cooler, warmer, or more neutral blonde hue will complement your complexion best.

Understanding Warm Skin Tones

Warmer skin tones have yellow or olive undertones. A simple way to determine your undertone is by checking the color of the veins on your inner wrist. If they appear greenish, you likely have a warm complexion. Warm blonde shades, such as golden and caramel shades, complement warmer complexions beautifully.

Understanding for Cool Skin Tones

Cooler skin tones are defined by whether your skin has pink or bluish undertones. If your veins appear blue or purplish when you check your wrist, you likely have a cool complexion. Cool blonde shades, such as platinum and ash, look stunning against cooler complexions.

Understanding Neutral Skin Tones

Most people lean toward either warm or cool complexions, but if you're unsure, you likely have a neutral skin tone. Those with neutral skin tone can wear both warmer and cooler blonde shades without clashing against their complexions. However, if you want a nice balance between warm and cool tones, we recommend these colors.

The cool ashy tones mute the golden hue, creating the perfect balance of warmer and cooler tones. BelleTress’s Milkshake Blonde R incorporates both of these elements.
